Behold the minimalist art world of future mankind. It has been years since we've seen something as aggressively obscure as this German film, we love it! Even the behind-the-scenes video here is a bit over-the-top. It appears as if just about everything except the costumes (and boxes of creepy babies) is green screen. The synopsis helps explain the stripped down look, but does nothing for the behind-the-scenes boxes o' babies image we have in the gallery below.

In a distant future, mankind has transformed into a society completely reduced to the intellect. Living in an obscure system of immense spaces, people can only be distinguished from one another by their different social positions. Only one among them still has the gift to sense emotions. For this ability he is admired, exploited and kept under control. However one day he manages to escape their domineering influence and is ruthlessly punished as a result.

It's Battle Royale and The Exam... on a plane! Sure we've heard this story before, a bunch of people trapped in a room with a malicious and unseen force pulling the strings. But the location and interesting social media angle make us super-excited for Panic Button. Plus, we have to admit, the bit in the end with the "do you accept these terms" screen is quite brilliant. Read the fine print people!

Four young people win a trip of a lifetime to New York, courtesy of their favourite social-networking website – All2gethr.com. As they board the private jet, they are asked to relinquish their mobile phones and take part in the in-flight entertainment – a new online gaming experience.

But this is no ordinary game. Trapped at 30,000 feet, they are forced to play for their lives and the lives of their loved ones by their invisible captor, who seems to know all their most intimate secrets. With no escape and no one to trust, they are about to learn that putting your life on-line can have deadly offline consequences…

It's the third installment of the Evil Bong franchise. Pot humor, pot culture, pot jokes...you get the gist.

The Dudes are back! And this time, they're coming at you in 3D and SCRATCH N' SNIFF, which puts you right in the middle of this galactic stoner-horror comedy!!

Larnell, Bachman, Brett and Alistair survived their battle with the dubious KING BONG. Now, they've set up shop, a head shop, in Venice Beach. Just as they think all of their troubles are behind them, an Alien Bong crash lands on earth and really starts to harsh their mellow.

The guys can't resist a toke, and they are enslaved in the Alien Bong's far out Bong World... where sexy Alien Chicks and other cosmic calamities await them. Enlisting the help of their arch enemies, Grandpa and the EVIL BONG, the Dudes must stop the Alien Bong before our planet goes totally up in smoke.

Claudio Torres' Brazilian time travel comedy, O Homem Do Futuro, knows its audience. In the first few seconds of the trailer there's a Nacho Vigalondo Timecrimes joke. Amazing.

Zero (Wagner Moura) is a brilliant scientist, but arrogant and unhappy. About to be fired, he decides to put into practice a new invention: a particle accelerator. The experimentfails, but he accidentally travels back in time and gets another chance with Helen (Aline Moraes), a woman who renounced the scientist and humiliated him years before this trip .

One short film standout on the Tribeca Film Festival slate is Richard Cunningham III's zombie short Year Zero. The premise appears to be fairly simple, a man is trapped in his apartment with two other zombies in the middle of an undead epidemic. And it seems as if the infected folk still possess the power of speech and reasoning. Check out this trailer and clip.
